Sakura

Spring is here, and Spring in japan means sakura, or cherry blossoms. It would be an understatement to say sakura are popular. Most cites have at least one park with hundreds to thousands of sakura trees, and the favorite spring activity of most people is walking under the cherry blossoms, watching the cherry blossoms, picnicking under the cherry blossoms (hanami), and getting drunk under the cherry blossoms.

The sakura are so popular, tv stations will track their blooming across the country and give forcasts for best days for seeing them.

I’m writing this from my iPhone, so here are a number of sakura photos I have taken with the phone. Enjoy!

    Hello!! this is the first time for me to put my comment on your blog page. Thank you for the nice Sakura pics. I like the 9th one of Sakura standing along the river. It must be much more beautiful to see them on site than in pics. I think it’s one of the best spots to go for Y0-zakura view.
